Gone, but not forgotten – HongKongers continue to mourn protest's martyr under the menace of the pandemic
Known as 'Yellow Raincoat Man', Marco Leung Ling-kit was the first among many anonymous heroes who sacrificed themselves during the pro-democracy movement. On June 15 2019, Leung was seen wearing a yellow raincoat and standing alone on the rooftop of Pacific Place, a mall where thousands of protesters had stayed in the evening of June 12 after riot police dispersed them with tear gas. Several hours later, Leung fell to his death despite rescue efforts.
Leung's action came shortly after CE Carrie Lam's so-called "suspension" of the controversial extradition bill, which many saw as a wordplay with no legal effect.
10 months later, HongKongers continued their monthly ritual of paying silent tribute to Leung at the pavement. While some laid down white flowers, others waved flags that read "Liberate Hong Kong Revolution of our Times".
